The Reason

(Oh, I understand ^^ I'm happy to hear that haha.)

Corey looked over to Sirius and Ida. Ida asleep on him and he was smiling and when Remus asked his question she nodded. "Yeah, sometimes it gets kind of scary." she told him, and she leaned her head against Remus' shoulder and let out a long breath. "One day she was screaming at a cotton candy fox to get away from her sugar. It was hilarious." she admitted and Sirius just looked so content as he watched the sleeping red head, and Corey soon closed her eyes for a brief moment and when she opened them, she looked up to Remus.

"Your shoulder is too comfortable." she said with a small yawn, and before long Corey succumbed to sleep. She hadn't been sleeping well at all, and she had been tired all the time it seemed, and she woke the moment the train rocked again. She was a very light sleeper and soon she rested her head back on Remus' shoulder. "Sorry, I haven't been sleeping well lately."

Sirius watched Ida for a while longer before he looked over to see Corey nodding off to sleep on Remus' shoulder and once the girls were for sure asleep Sirius gave Sirius a look and when James caught onto it he chuckled, lightly. "Dude, Sirius, have you looked at yourself. Can't give Sirius the 'admit your feelings' look if you can't do it." he said and Sirius looked back to the sleeping Ida.

"I don't want to ruin my friendship with her. It's so obvious that Corey and Remus are nuts for each other." Sirius said to Remus. It wasn't meant entirely as a tease, but it came out in a teasing manner.

[sorry it's short.]

Remus' cheeks flushed a gentle pink as he glanced down at the sleeping Corey. With her sleeping he could see now how tired she was. "James, take my jacket it will you and put it over her?" As James did so kindly Remus looked at Sirius. "I don't know what you are talking about. Corey and I are just good friends." Remus would sing this tune until he was blue in the mouth, or until he could really figure out of Corey liked him or not.
It scared him to think she may laugh in his face for confessing his true feelings, to be turned down, or to ruin what they already had.

Shaking his head at the mere thought of it all he raised his eyebrows at Sirius. "And what about you? How do you know you'll ruin something? She may just like you." Remus knew she liked him, she was just to clueless to know it. Or, maybe she did know, deep down somewhere in a small corner of her heart. While such a bright and happy person Ida didn't always speak her true feelings until they finally couldn't be contained any longer. Around new people she was rather quiet, a ghost of a person, until someone got her to speak up. "Just got to get her to open up a bit. Might just find something surprising." Remus then chuckled, leaning back carefully so not to wake Corey. "Maybe try not teasing her. Be a bit kind will you? As Ida would say-" Remus cleared his throat, trying to make a cutesy girlish voice to sound like Ida "You'll catch more flies with honey than with vinegar." James laughed, putting his head into his hand as it shook back and forth. "That was a terrible impression if I ever heard one." Remus could only smile.

A long while later, once the sun had set behind the rolling hills of the country side the train arrived at its station. Coming to a stop everyone who had been asleep started to wake up, though Ida had a terrible time doing so. Still half asleep as the train whistle sounded for the all clear to get off she moaned softly and tried to hide in Sirius' side. "Come on sleepy girl." James said, poking her side playfully, knowing that she was so ticklish she wouldn't be able to sleep. He was right, but at the price of being right she jumped awake, kicking his shin by accident. "Ow!"
James was laughing, while at the same time rubbing his shin as Ida rubbed the last of sleep from her eyes. "I'm sorry, did I fall asleep?" James nodded. "And gave me a good kick to the shin." Ida didn't look to down hearted about what she had done, but rather scolded James "Well, you shouldn't have tickled me."

Remus laughed, gently shaking Corey awake. "Come on, time to go." In a way Remus didn't want her to wake up. He'd rather carry her if he could- as long as Corey got her rest. Not to mention she was rather cute as she slept. . .not that he would tell anyone that.

(It's alright. Mine isn't great either DX I'm being bugged by siblings >.> Better reply next time! I promise!)

When the train arrived at Hogsmeade station, Sirius watched as James woke up Ida. He was seriously contemplating Remus' words... About both he and Ida and Remus and Corey. It was obvious that Corey and Remus were crazy for each other, but right now it didn't seem like either was quite outgoing enough to say something to other. So, he had thought up a way to both bond with Ida and help Remus out. He would have Ida join him in matchmaking Remus and Corey. It would be a bit difficult, but somehow he knew that the two of them could do it. He nudged Ida a bit before helping her out of the compartment ahead of the others.

"So, Ida. You want to help me with a project for this year? I promise it's nothing bad." he asked her before he whispered to her. "We need to get Remus and Corey to admit their feelings for each other."

He had a feeling that she wouldn't go for it at first, so he continued on. "This way, they can both just stop trying to hide their feelings and put it all out there. They could be so much happier. And plus, it's our last year, I think the two deserve a bit of romance." he smiled. "So, what do you say?"

Corey felt herself be gently woken up, and she blinked her eyes a bit and yawned. "Huh? Oh, thanks, Remus." she smiled and she watched Sirius and Ida leave in a bit of a hurry before she stood up and grabbed her things, heading off the train with Remus. "Sorry I made you my pillow. I didn't realize how tired I really was. If it's any consolation you have a million best friend points that can be cashed in at any time." she smiled to him before she walked off the train and waited for him before heading towards the carriages. Something was feeling better about tonight, so hopefully, everything would be alright in the end.

"What did I miss? Sirius and James planning their huge blow-out prank?" she inquired as they got in the carriage with James and Peter and before theirs left Sirius and Ida joined them. Corey scooted closer to Remus to make room for a last couple of people and she looked to him. "Sorry." she whispered, and she looked over to James who was just smiling. "What is it James?"

"Nothing." he dismissed and Corey rose a brow before looking to Remus.

(I promise to get my reply up but I had a question: Would Ida be able to see what pulls the carriages? Seeing as how they are connected to death and she is also connected in a way. . .or am I just far off the mark here in my own little world? haha if I am I"m sorry)

[BeautifullyxMad]

That would work that way, lovely.

The moment Sirius took her out of the compartment she felt a bit nervous, like something suddenly awoke in her stomach, not that it was a bad thing but it was just weird. Seeing as it only puzzled little Ida she let Sirius lead her out, listening to him and giving her attention to nothing else- not even the person she almost ran into. However, not even the experience of almost being run over could make Ida any less happy as she was at that moment, realizing that Sirius had a very good idea to make two of her favorite people very happy.

"Sirius, you have yourself a partner in crime." Giving a cheeky little grin at the thought of love being a crime and her helping commit it. With a giddy little giggle Ida looked over at Corey and Remus, who were right behind them, before climbing into the carriage and sitting between Peter in James- seeing as how Ida felt she would do good by taking up what ever little space she could squeeze into to make more room for others.
As Ida did this Remus smiled a Corey softly, "It's fine." It was more than fine- Remus would be so contempt just sitting here with her for a long while. Even though the carriage rides weren't always his favorite thing about coming back to school, mostly because it just seemed like a long and slightly bumpy ride.

Looking over at Ida he saw her staring at the front of the carriage again, as she always did, but she didn't react like she had the first time. No, the first time he had ever seen her on the carriage he saw her turn ghostly white, staring wide eyed at the front of the carriage. He didn't understand, but learning that she was muggle born he decided that she was just very surprised things were moving on their own, but he would have thought she would have been over it after 7 years of seeing the same thing. Remus was wrong, wrong about the theory of why she stared and everything conserning the whole ordeal.

Ida's sight, something she never spoke about- not even to her friends- gave her the power to see the truth, at least the truth about the moving cart. The first time she saw them she was frightened of them, but now she found them strangely beautiful and couldn't help but watch them. After 7 years she no longer cared that people knew she was staring, and let them believe that she was still surprised about things moving on their own.

"Ida, something wrong?" Peter asked, and suddenly Ida realized she was staring in his direction, he probably thought she was staring at him. She smiled softly, shaking her head no. "No, no. I'm fine." Ida forced herself to look away from the animal and down at her hands, but looking up a moment later to see they were finally at the school.
Remus smiled but felt a bit bad, for one of his friends never got to sit with the rest. "We'll meet up after eating to talk a bit before going to bed. Okay?" He always said this to Ida, and she always nodded, trying not to look a bit sad but always failing. Remus knew that he wasn't the only one who wanted her to sit with them, he was sure her sister-from-another-mister- Corey would want to sit with her as well, and it didn't help his feelings any when she gave that little 'abandoned puppy' look when they had to go.
